It's Shark Week, so they tell me.....

I like The Discovery Channel. I often find cool shows to watch on there, and I love to learn about new things. However, it's that time of year when they go overboard on self-indulgence and, so to speak, jump the shark. Much in the same way that History Channel could often be confused with The Hitler Channel until they branched it off to The Military Channel, Discovery has become The Shark Channel....that is, when it's not the Crab Catching Channel or Jobs That Will Kill You Channel.
So yeah, it's Shark Week on Discovery. Not just any old common Shark Week, mind you, but the 23d Anniversary edition of Shark Week. You get like 168 hours of non-stop shark action. Shark bites, shark attacks, flying sharks, sleeping sharks, feeding frenzy sharks, mating sharks, rare sharks, giant sharks, little sharks, sharks that eat people, shark movies, shark facts, shark games, and celebrity guest hosts...but somehow I think other animals are getting short changed...
